Kishor Baniya
Caldwell University
2026
Kishor is double majoring in Mathematics and Computer Science, and working on a minor in Physics, at Caldwell University.
Kishor is an IOAA alum, an active songwriter, and sometimes sketches. He finds it beautiful how everything in this world has a certain rhythm and a comprehensible pattern. He loves it when he can understand the intuition behind a seemingly complex problem and be able to solve it. He enjoys watching simulations and has also been learning to do some for his research on Dark Matter SIDM. Interestingly, he has also become a fitness fanatic.
For Kishor: "A perfect day for me would be: Making a beautiful melody in the morning, studying a new concept in Physics during the day, and fully understanding it. Then, hitting the gym and do an extra set. After that, I would come back to find a new video from 3Blue1Brown, enjoy some snacks over it, and spend the rest of the evening working on my research."
